At 9:58 PM, just a guy said…

It's difficult...downright political...to compliment your good friend's babies on looks, ability, or natural coolness on the internet. This is because you never know when another of your friends are browsing the comments, and thinking in the back of their minds "My kids are just th' bomb, you know? I mean, they are the top hair o' the camel, no doubt!" and such. Then they see my comment about, say, how the Speers have the cutest kids this side of Colorado and that the lil' uns seem to be grandly taking to this world of wonder and wackiness, and that I'm sure they will both grow up to be President or at least wonderful, award-winning anglers. They see this comment and, all of the sudden, their perspective is wrecked, their fatherly feathers shaken and stirred, and they begin to doubt their own lineage's worth and assemblage. OK. If that's you, don't feel bad. The Speers got lucky. There are many other babies that are uglier and less-adaptable than yours. And your little child-person is more than likely Way-Way-Cool on the 'Way-Cool' scale. You sould be proud of that little bundle of joy you made, and are making. It could have turned out much worse. I'm sure they will grow up to be something remarkable, too. Personally, I hope my little kid (who lives in Colorado, by the way) matures into one heck of a bowler...
